UNCLE SAM WILL CLOSE SALOONS To Prevent Indians From Getting Liquor--Many Grog Shops Will Be Abolished. The federal government is going to close up saloons in a large portion of northern Minnesota, including not only the present reservations, but a zone ontside, from which it 1s now possible for the hquor trade to reach the Indi- ans, The Indian departmen thast his authority under the provisions of the original Indian treaties ceding the land to the whites. These provided that the federal laws prohibiting the intraduction and sale of liquors in the Idian country should continue to apply to the ceded terri- tory, unless otherwise ordered by con- gress. Technically it is possible for the fed- eral authorities to close saloons in nearly all of Minnesota, including St, Paul, Minneapalis and Duluth. This power is only to be exercised, how- ever, to stop the sale of liquor to the Indians. The law enforcement di- vision of the Indian department, cre- ated last July, 1s preparing to enforce the treaty provisions in the present In- dian country, and hundreds ot saloons in the counties of Cass. Beltrami, Clearwater, Becker and Mahnoman will be compelled to close. F.W. Zollman of St. Paul, attorney for some of the ieading Minnesota Brewers, has been in Washington sev- eral times to confer with Secretary F, F. Leupp of the Indian department, and with the head of the law enforce- ment division, to agree on the limits of the dry zone. The terms of this agreement are not yet known, but the zone will extend over considerable territory outside of the actual réserva- tions. It will close saloons in the village of Bena, for instance, in Cass county, which 1s outside the reserva- tion, but has much Indian trade. JOHNSON SHOWS HIS SHARP FANGS Governor’s True Feeling Toward Northern Minnesota Shown in Veto of Normal School Bill. ‘Lhe unexpected has happened. In the legislative struggle for the location jof the sixth state normal school, no jone suggested or suspected that {Governor Johnson would veto the measure, no matter which of the towns asking for the location might be se- lected. That feature of the contro- versy never once entered into the pos- sibilines. That another normal school is badly needed and that it should be located in this section of the state was generally conceeded. Senator D. M. Gunn of Grand Rapids, who intro- duced the bill to locate the school at Cass Lake won a singal victory when his measure passed the senate. Representative P. H. McGarry of Cass county, who handled the bill in the house, did splendid work and car- nied the bill through that body. That should have settled it for all ttme. But it didn’t. Johnson vetoed the bill, giving as his alleged reasons therefor | that which 1s not in-keeping with the | facts. It was a northern ‘Minnesota | measure of really great importance to | this section of the state and Governor | Johnson showed his fangs and feeling | toward this section cf thestate. Should | the infamous tonnage tax bill pass would johnson keep his public pledge | to veto it? Not ina thousand years! | At the Swedish Lathorins Mr. Gust Wilson, from |Minn., will preach at the Lutheran church next Friday evening | at 8 o’clock.

ENTERTAINMENT AT THE UNIQUE Always Bright, ‘laraslive, Laugh- Producing and Up-to-Date in Every Respect. We must confess that the enter- tainments being offered at the Unique theatre are certainly the best that has ever been presented by amatures in this or any other town, being re- fined, moral and high class. The managers of this little home of good shows know just what the public wants in the way of amusements and they are certainly giving the public their money’s worth. “The Landlord’s Troubles” was re-” peated Monday evening and was played te a packed house at both per- formances. Miles and Douglas re- sponded to repeated encores. Douglas in his own peculiar way of entertain- ing in the ‘Auto Explosion,” with song and dance, certainly was a favorite with Unique patrons. Ip every scene the program was a success and was evidently appreciated. Mr. Douglas says that he has several new ones up his sleeve — that are good ones—to offer. Next on the program will be Mr. A. L. Roeckerand family in a musical entertainment Friday evening, April 9th. Don’t miss this if you are a lover of good music. M. E. Church Services. Preaching at 10:30 a. m, anc Sunday School......
